Dear D****, I thought you were it for me and I was it for you. I was told I was loved by you, that you cared, that you wanted a baby from me. I know people lie, but you blinded me with words. I trusted you, I gave you my everything. Now I know I wasn’t your everything, I was like your own little nothing. You took me along wherever you went but I would always be in the back pocket and never the front. You took me for a fool and for a little, I let you. I hope you’re having fun with your new girlfriend because she’s not cute. I hope she’s smart because her looks aren’t getting her anywhere. Yes, I’m throwing shade and sipping haterade but if I gotta do it to protect myself, I will. I don’t want you to be sorry or feel any type of remorse for me. All you did was help me realize, being tied down is a lot of work. There’s a lot of things you can’t do for yourself because you’re so busy doing for HIM. I’ve learned to do ME and ONLY ME. It’s my time to shine and my time to do what brings out the best in me. My unbreakable spirit. That’s one of the many things I admire myself for. My faith in God and my soul are indestructible. They will never be broken. I refuse to let you break down my walls and ruin the rest of my beautiful life. You might’ve taken away one good part of me, but you can’t have the rest. Unbreakable Spirit.

Come and say hi!
